Shine a Light for Parks at the Prom

On Saturday evening, November 2, we need you to join more than a thousand people to make a human sign on the beach at Tidal River, Wilsons Prom – a sign the Victorian Government can’t ignore.

We need your help to spell out the message ‘HANDS OFF PARKS’ on the beach, using a thousand torches at dusk.

Be at Tidal River beach by 6.30 pm on 2 November.

We want to send a clear message to the Victorian Government that private developments and other abuses of our national parks are not welcome.

We want to tell the government in no uncertain terms that the law it has just passed, allowing 99-year leases in national parks for private developers, is not on.

Join us at the Prom Melbourne Cup weekend!

To help us plan this event, we are asking you to fill in an online registration form. It will give us an idea of how many people will be coming, and what we need to make sure the event runs as smoothly as possible.

We will send you a reminder email closer to the event with more information, including confirmation of details and what you will need to bring.

You can also download our info sheet for those attending the event.
